In order to tell you about the most effective skincare products, I would like to begin with this information. Respected dermatologists recommend prevention, protection and individualized care.

So, effectiveness depends largely on buying something that targets your areas of concern. I’ve listed some common concerns here, along with solutions that address them.

Excessive Dryness and Cracking

First, for prevention, you have to avoid excessive exposure to the sun and chemicals that are drying to the skin; chlorine, alcohol based hand cleaners and antibacterial soaps, for example. Second, you need effective moisturizers; Functional Keratin, avocado oil, Shea butter and grape seed oil are examples.

Third, you need something that protects the skin from drying out to quickly. Grape seed oil does that because it has a “filming ability”. The film locks in moisture. Fourth, you need something that will “heal” cracked skin. Witch hazel extract is the best choice for that purpose.

The most effective skincare products for dry cracked skin contain all of these oils and extracts. They provide prevention, protection and individualized care for dry skin conditions.

Acne

Acne is accompanied by excessive sebum production. Some doctors recommend drugs to decrease sebum production. But, there are many side effects and the use of the drug can lead to excessive dryness.

Some professionals suggest strong cleansers that cause redness and further inflame infected areas. The best approach is gentle regular cleansing, two or three times a day. Occasionally a deep cleansing mask that contains extracts from clay will absorb excessive oils and pull dirt and grime out of the pores.

One of the most effective skincare products for treating acne contains Jojoba, because it reduces sebum production, without causing excessive dryness, and honey, because it has natural antibacterial activity that prevents infections and blemishes.

Rosacea, Sunburns and Irritations

Excessive redness, as is found in rosacea, sunburns, razor burns and similar irritations are often grouped with a condition called dermatitis, which is basically inflammation of the skin. To reduce excessive redness and even out skin tones, the best natural extract is nut grass root. Other measures can be taken to correct rosacea, but you’d have to contact a cosmetic surgeon. You might want to try the nut grass first.

To relieve sunburn, try capuacu butter made from a South American fruit, vitamin B5 and witch hazel extract. Honey effectively heals most skin irritations. Functional Keratin reduces inflammation.

Functional Keratin is one of the most effective skincare products for many conditions, because the protein is active. Other types of keratin are rendered inactive by the manufacturing process.

Anti-Aging

You need moisture to maintain or return elasticity, special extracts that prevent the loss of protein from the skin’s outer layers, protection against free radical damage and repair of damage that causes wrinkles and fine lines.

The most effective skincare products for anti-aging contain Functional Keratin, H-EQ10, grape seed extract and brown algae extract. Clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of each of these ingredients. The best anti-wrinkle cream contains them all. There’s a lot more that I could write about the subject, but that’s all I have time for in this article.
